Hi all,
I have an i-mate k-jam and I was wandering what was the best software to automaticaly connect to any open wifi.
I'm currently using WiFiFoFum2 that has a really cool radar detection and the possibility to add them as POI in TOMTOM. But it doesn't try to connect to the wifi network it found.
Do you have a good war driving prog??? (Maybe one that can try to Hack the "password protected" network)??? In general, what tool do you use for war driving???
Thanks.
I agree this would be a neat idea, especially if used with a GPS/Google maps/etc. to mark open networks. Im in Boston, and open networks are ALL over the place.
I don't know if this is a good idea.. because many networks have no encryption but they re-direct you to a web page in order to register (they check the mac addr)
The best way is to use wifofum to find networks with ssid default, linksys, usrobotics, wireless, etc...
then you can connect and check your e-mails
I can add that even on a fast machine it takes quite some time to hack 128 WEP, Let alone WPA. You need to capture about a million packets if the encryption is 128 WEP, then you can crack the code, in about an hour on a 2 ghz lappy with 512 of ram (last time I tryed =)) 64 bit WEP may be possible on a pocket pc but I cant think of anyone who would still use that. That lappy could crack that in about 5 min, with a minimal amount of packets. Nice idea though :twisted:
Later; Lew
you don't need to crack anything...
I travel a lot...
I need max 10min walking with wifofum to locate an unencrypted access point that shares internet... with ssid default etc...
I was in amsterdam last week. I could find open APs anywhere (even inside the room of my hotel from a nearby house/company) !
And you are not breaking any law....
If you crack wep then you do...
many foolish people turn on WEP or WPA and use the routers default pass key, maybe a program with a list of default keys which it tries could be useful.
The defaults keys may vary from manufacturer to manufacturer but there are lists available on the internet.

Try HitchHiker 0.4 beta1 (http://www.kasuei.com/hitchhiker/) it's similar to wififofum but it will connect.
No WEP cracking or dictionary attack though.
bye

Tried this - unfortunately it kept dying shortly after conecting to an available network - went back to wififofum2 - admitedly it doesnt connect but it does a good job of finding networks.
.NET 2.0 and Hitchhiker
Hitchhiker says it needs .net 2.0, and that is 24MB! Does it really need .net and how much free space does .net require? Will .net install on the sd card?
Found a cab file here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=51118&highlight=net
and it is 2MB. Would still like to know if this can install on the sd card, does it screw up .net version 1, which is needed for registry wizard, and is hitchhiker worth it?
bratag : i noticed that the Hitchhiker crashed due to trying to connect using Pocket MSN. Try registering your MSN using the pocket MSN.
I did it and it works find after that
Tried Hitchhiker in WM%
and it crashed incessantly, sometimes taking the whole device down. It was a nuisance to install .net 2, although it helps to use the cab file located at
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=51118
and then to follow the instructions involving shutting off the today screen items, soft reset, shut down all running programs (I used memmaid for this) and then install the cab. That got .net to run. Then I installed hitchhiker, but it seemed to conflict with the default wifi connection. I was near a wep enabled wifi connection of my own. Hitchhiker would accept the password and even connect me, then crash. I could still reach the internet even after it crashed, although a couple of times I had to do a soft reset because the screen wasn't responsive.
There was a report elsewhere of a t-mobile / hitchhiker problem, so perhaps it is the T-Mobile customization.
Is this really better than the native wm5 program for finding wifi's and connecting to them? Actually, often I can't connect to unprotected wifis very well, which is why I tried this program, but with 5 MB for .net and frequent crashes, it doesn't seem worth it. I would appreciate your reaction, however, since I would like to be able to use voip (sjphone) in Europe and readily connecting to wifis would help.
Yes Hitchhiker crashed for me too...
Finally I use an old version of WiFiFoFum = 0.3.3 to detect hotspot but unfortunaltely can't connect with it...
Ive tried Wi-Fi companion but it's a shareware and can't make it work on my 9100.
Does somebody has a complete list of the default ssid (maybe depend on the country)... linksys, usrobotics, wireless...
I'm really interested in the routers in France and USA.
Thanks
Wifi Companion is a pretty nice app. It has a connect option and has trace route and ping utilities as well..

I have used all of those mentioned and had problems with all of them freezing, crashing etc. I now use PocketWiNc, version 1.3 build 952. It is a special edition put out by PC mag. I dont remember where I got it, but I am sure a search can find it. It is free but has just a couple features that dont work in the free version (that I wouldnt use anyway).
PocketWinc the Special PC Mag Edition can be found here for free...

mine wizard cant connect on network after I use wififo,so I had to hard reset and backup it and now working ok

In The Netherlands you are breaking the law, well according to the new system. But if you can't protect your open wifi you are probably 99.999 of 100.000 shure you will not be seen on the network

Do you have your wifi on before starting the app?
In the place I live there are too many available Wi-Fi connection and my device keeps switching from one to another! I can't use any wi-fi based application because it is always renovating the IP number thus making drop each connection. Is there a way to make dedicated connection to a single Wireless Lan?

There is likely to be a few ways to do this . I use an application called Hitchhiker. Mainly used to seek out Wifi hotspots and assist in connecting to them. But it has an option that lets you set up TRUSTED networks and will allow connection to them only. Can also be set to auto connect to first available trusted network. Handy when you are surrounded by networks. There is a link below. (you will also net the .net compact framework installed and there is a link for tis on the Hitchhiker page below)

Mike, you are one of the few people I've heard who have got hitcher to work OK ..... mine crashed ....but I am on An orbit / Artemis). Before I 100% Blame Hitchhicker, I also got an error message on installing .net 2 ... but otherwise seemed OK. I did a search on 'Hitchhiker' and .. got some VERY bad feedback - people having their systems trashed by it. So decided to uninstall both it and .net2.
to be safe.
Do you have ansy tips for a succesfull install and use ?
I feel the .net2 is an unhelpful overhead - a developer tool - not nec reliable (or for normal mortals ;-) ).
As an alternative I found pocketWinc ... which seems to offer much the same, without .net2, and (and the hype ?). I've not tried it yet but will let you know.
I'll be interested to hear how you get on with that app. As far as Hitchhiker goes - I did nothing special. I've installed .net and Hitchhiker twice and no problems each time - Except on both occasions hitchiker reported an error on first running until after a soft reset - after that no problems. Regarding .net - I installed it as a few apps. need it otherwise I do nothing with it. Some folks say it's memory greedy - perhaps it is but not giving me any probs.
Cheers
Mike
So big thanks for the helmi wm6 ROM which has so *ucking amazing! I have finally installed it on my aging BA m2000! A big thanks to the author of exitbootloader too, without which I would still be in brick mode.
Been playing with wifi networking, and succesfully setup an adhoc wireless connection on vista and used the m2000 with wm6 to connect with no problems. But ummm so does anyone know how I browse, locate, transfer files via the pda from the vista PC. I know my IP address but that's where I am stuck. Do I need an 3rd party app to locate and transfer?
I know there are a few things missing from that ROM such as remote deskop.
BTW wifi to the net seems stable and fully fuctional.
Thanks.
i think that it is not possible as far as i know , i would glade if it exists but i think it's a limitation with the Wifi driver. u can only use wifi for surfing the net . not even ActiveSync ( for security reasons [email protected]?# )
thanks for that. Yer probably right, going keep playing and let brain think about it for a bit see if I can come at it sideways with a sol. I post results if successful
Remote Desktop is available in xplodes zip of cabs. And, yes, you can browse network shares, copy/move files and so on. I have SKTools which can enable this, but you can also do it for free using the PPC version of Total Commander and several other tools.
Requirements: WM5, WM6
Overview: WeFi for Pocket PC is the best software for finding and connecting to WiFi networks.
With WeFi, you always get the optimal WiFi connection.
When you're not connected, WeFi constantly monitors your surroundings, so when you do want to connect it's already aware of the best network.
WeFi for Pocket PC is the best software for finding and connecting to wireless networks with your windows mobile device. With WeFi, you always get the optimal WiFi connection, while keeping the battery consumption to a minimum. The WeFi software provides you with an intuitive and aesthetic user interface to manage your WiFi connection and allows you to automatically launch application once such connection is found. Once connection is established, the WeFi server provides you with information gathered by other WeFi users about your wireless environment, so that your connection gets even better.
In addition, the new one-touch feature gives the user a convenient interface to launch any application or webpage from his Today screen, and configure WeFi to automatically find the best WiFi connection available when this application is launched. Each application can be configured to use only WiFi, or revert to 3G data connection if no WiFi is available. So instead of having to go through the annoying process of finding an open WiFi, hotspot after hotspot, and then opening a browser and going to a specific webpage – a total of 200 clicks – the user can have WeFi do all this for him with a single click of the stylus. Also, since the configurable buttons are big enough, the stylus doesn’t even have to come out – the user can simply do it with his finger.

Just gave this a quick try, and kept getting error message " Need net 2.0 to work"?
Running 6.1 rom so have net 3.5 installed?
Also don't know if it was because of this it wouldn't connect to my network and is difficult to configure.
Will keep an eye on this to see if you can fix it. Thanks for allowing us to test.
Installed to Storage Card if that makes a difference?
Same Problem

Hi; this app looks really useful but I'm also having the problem with Net CF 3.5. I would imagine quite a few people will have the same issue. I couldn't get it to work at all on my Wizard running WM 6.1 and I installed direct to device.
error whit NetCF3.5
same problem, still no working whit NetCF3.5
Help us or give me another programs
thank you
Does this program mess up your WiFi like some have said (elsewhere)?
NetCF
3.5 does NOT include 2.x features. Just install netcf 2.1 + SP2 and it'll run flawless. Wont slow down your system.
thanks for share
Hi, I wonder if someone can help me with this problem. I recently got a Shift X9501 from China, it is already liberated with WM6 working (it has Start menu, internet explorer, USB Tools, etc.). However, the only thing I couldn't find is the Internect sharing application. It doesn't show up in the Start -> Programs folder nor can I find it in the Windows folder. I was testing the 3G connection on the Shift using my iPhone SIM card, and it only worked on the WinMo side not the Vista side. I called HTC and AT&T customer services and was told that it was because my SIM card won't allow desktop Windows to use the 3G service. So I'm guessing my only solution is to use the Internet Sharing. Please, anyone could give me a hand on this? Thx!!
Internet sharing is possible. There is nothing that you need to do or run on the WM side.
Internet sharing can only be done from the Windows side as wifi and bluetooth is only accessible there, for connection to your external device, e.g. laptop or iphone.
Check this thread for instruction on internet sharing.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=488872&highlight=sharing
If it doesn't work then you may need to check your windows services to check that the internet sharing service is enabled.
Then it should work.
Hi Flanimal, thanks for the reply. But I don't think that's what I am meaning. From what I learned from the forum and other sources, I think the original Shift should come with an application called internet sharing in Snapvue even without liberation, and it can share the 3G connection from Snapvue to Vista. The application is also a standard one for WM6. I was wondering since mine is of model X9501 and it's already liberated when I got it. I doubt is it possible that the liberation deleted that function? Please help if you have any idea, a great many thanks!
I got a partial solution here by myself, and am writing it here in case anyone has similar problem. I tried to download an application named ICS Control 0.21, and copied the required IPNat.dll to the windows directory, and it turned out this way won't work as it told me loading the NAT driver failed. Then I tried to copy the IntShrUI.exe and intshare.dll to the windows directory (which are official WM6 files downloaded from somewhere else in this forum), and they also didn't work, and when I run the internet sharing application (IntShrUI.exe), it prompted that the connection could not be established with unknown reason. I then tried to backup my ROM and flash with a new one from the forum, and I failed and the SnapVue was dead. Then I found a tread in the forum telling me how to hard reset the SnapVue, and restored to the original state when I got the Shift. I thought it was really the original state, but this time the IntShrUI.exe worked! Vista is now connected with SnapVue and used it as an internet connection (later I did some registry work and the problem occured again, which forced me to hard reset my Shift again). However, the problem is that the connection is still restricted to local access only. I would guess that this is still my SIM card's fault, since it is for iPhone, and both AT&T and HTC people believed it won't work for desktop windows like Vista. I'm about to give up further exploring on this, and maybe I'll get a SIM card for laptop to have a try. Still, if anyone has any good solution for this, please reply to this thread. Any help will be appreciated.
